I started this last year, and just never got around to finishing it. Maybe I'll get a chance to finish it sometime this year. It needs a lot of proportion fixes though. She will eventually have light brindle markings as well. :)

I generally prefer physical non-morphs, but she's certainly cute. That's a nice thick collar. :P Reminds me of never-ending fights I've had with past roomies over collars, I felt thicker ones were better especially for dogs who tend to pull, as they distribute the pressure over a wider area whereas the shorter-breadth collars would be more 'cutty,' putting a lot of pressure over a narrower area and increasing the chance of doing some damage crushing a vein, the windpipe, a bone, etc.

Can I ask what you had in mind for her clenched left hand on the frontal view? She's looking at something out of the corner of her eye to her left, she seems to have a warm, even amused expression on her muzzle and her posture seems relaxed ... is she planning a playful sock (tap/light punch) on someone?

I had nothing particular in mind, as far as what she was thinking in this pose. I just didn't want it to be a boring pose. :-P I'm new to the whole traditional, turnaround character models, so this was just some practice work. I will eventually get one done for each of my characters. :)

Oh, tell me about it. :-P I personally LOVE a good, thick leather collar for my dogs, since I agree that with large breeds, or dogs that tend to pull, it is much safer and less of a risk of them crushing their trachea. My German Shepherd used to have a thick 2" collar. All three of the bull-breeds I fostered did as well. Then I have my show collars. :-P I can't imagine actually putting these on a dog, (except for the plain brown one) but I thought they were neat, so they are now a par of my collection. ;)
